List previously private repository as being a fork












1















I followed the answer here to fork a public repository into my private one. Now I want to list it as public, but it doesn't display as being a fork of that original repository.



How can I make a (previously private) fork be listed as a fork?

          You cannot, considering your private repo was not a fork in the first place.



          What you can do is:




          • create an actual (public fork)

          • push your new commits from your private repo local clone to your new public fork, restoring your work in that public fork.
